Working With The IBEW As a Journeyman

As a Journeyman

With A Union You Have Rights
 

When your employer buys a product, he strikes a bargain with the  seller.  He may make an offer, but the selling price isn’t necessarily  the same as either the offering price or the asking price.

That’s the way U.S.business is conducted. Nobody finds anything wrong  with bargaining over the price.  It’s different only when it comes to  your wages and working conditions, unless you have a union.

WITHOUT A UNION, the employer sets the wage because the average worker is in no position to do anything about it.  Alone, you have no bargaining power.

What’s true about wages is equally true of other benefits and working  conditions.  Without a union, the employer decides on holiday pay,  vacations, medical and sickness benefits, and even whether your length  of service on the job counts.

WITHOUT A UNION, you can complain about unfair  treatment, but the boss doesn’t have to do anything about it.  He can  even fire you for complaining.

What is the IBEW? 

The Facts

We hear a lot about the Union.  Just what is it?
 

The IBEW, or International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, is a  non-profit labor organization, as defined in the Labor-Management  Reporting and Disclosure Act.  Basically, the IBEW is an organization of  workers with common concerns and aspirations.

Does the IBEW have other goals?
 

Yes.  The IBEW strives to promote community activities by its  members.  We all know that by working together, we can accomplish what  we cannot accomplish alone. The IBEW serves as a vehicle to bring  together people of many talents to achieve service to the community and  mankind. Together, we all add to the organization.

How many members are in the IBEW?
 

The IBEW represents nearly 725,000 members in all branches of the  electrical industry, including employees of electrical construction,  telecommunications, electric, gas, and water utilities, broadcasting,  government employees, and manufacturing.

The IBEW exists solely to represent the interests of  workers in the electrical industry.  It is an organization of workers  for workers.
